Kizomba dancing & music originate from Angola, with the word Kizomba itself deriving from the Angolan word ‘party’.

This Afro latino dance is popular all over the world now, and is rapidly growing in the western part. This sensual and romantic dance follows very romantic music and is all about interpreting the music and rhythm. Kizomba is often described as the dance where ‘two people dance as one’. This means connection & musicality between two dancers is paramount.

Bachata is a style of dance that originates from the Dominican Republic. It is danced widely all over the world now, and in a variety of styles.

The basics to the dance are three-step with a Cuban hip motion, followed by a tap including a hip movement on the 4th beat. The movement of the hips is very important, and generally, most of the dancer’s movement is in the lower body up to the hips. Although the formerly mentioned fundamentals of the dance are important, there are now a variety of styles and variations of this dance. Bachata can be described as ‘Dominican Bachata’ (the original style), Bachata Moderna, Bachatango, and most recently, Sensual Bachata. At Dance Revolution we focus on Dominican and Moderna styles of Bachata although we take inspiration from many areas of the discipline.
